Abstract :

Shams's essays is a book containing mystical thoughts and thoughts, which includes discussions about Sufism and mysticism. Cognitive linguistics emphasizes physical experiences in mental processes and the connection between mind and language. The purpose of this research is to understand and explain the connections between Shams Tabrizi's mind and language in his articles with the help of cognitive metaphor theory. The analysis of the topic shows that language in the form of metaphorical systems has a close connection with the worldview of Shams. What makes this connection strong is the writing of the visual schemas of the mind on the general principles of Shams' worldview and the organization of metaphorical writings and coherent networks of metaphors on the axis of the macro-cognitive model.. It shows a general view of conceptual metaphors in Shams's articles. The metaphorical system of Shams's articles is similar to his contemporary mystical writers. In Shams' narrations, Etgar is only the domain of destination, words and speech, which is conceptualized sometimes in the form of a breakable object, sometimes in the form of a plant, and sometimes in relation to color, in such a way that the unconsciousness of the anecdotes and Shams' lack of focus on a The single subject is one of the factors that made his style stand out from others in metaphorical conceptualizations.
